This is indeed a very efficient point for buttock pain and/or sciatica extending to the thigh. The point lies in one line with the proximal end of the buttock crease, at the highest point of the buttock muscle. Traditionally, 3 cun lateral to Du-2. It is very easy to know when you get deep enough to the point, as the needle reaction is usually a visible contraction of the buttock muscle of the same side. The insertion depth varies substantially according to the patients' physique. Usually though, this is quite a deep insertion even in slim people. When you get the kind of Deqi described above, you know that you are in the right depth.
